Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they can not
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inhamed condition of the mucus lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube gets infamed, you have a rumb-
ling sound or imperfect bearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are causedby catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed con
dition Of the mucus surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Deafness lcaused by
Catarrbj that we can not cure by
taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send

TO ADVERTISERS.
The Free Press Recognized bv Geo. T.,
ROwell & Co., rs Ahead as an
Advertising Medium.

The well known advertising agency of
Geo. z. .Roweli Il Co., of New York City. have
issued an annual Newspaper Directory for
thirty years or more, and these publications
have been generally recognized as authority
AS TO the matter Of newspaper circulation
In tho regular issues of the Directory they
have included all the newspapers published
in the United States and Canada. Quite
recently, however, they have issued con-
densed list. II gives only the best newspa-
pers I'd advertising mediums, and hence Is
practically better, because more convenient
than their larger Directory. Four-ifths OF
the newspapers of the United States are
practically Counted out" by intelligent I'D
vertisers, who only want to know Me BEST
Hence the value of the work under notice.
The publishers in tho preface well say:
1T Sits the wheat from the chaf. 1t di-
sects the attention of an advertiser toward
papors which he should and ought to use,
and tends to intercept portion of that pa
tronage which goes to publications which
cost greatly in excess of any power to bene-
At which they possess. 1t takes the general
ground, that the best is the cheapest"
We need scarcely say that on this plan,
tho FREE PBEss is given by this book (see
page 1851 as the advertising medium OF San
Marcos aud Hays county, it being the onty
one on the list. We respectfully invite the
attention of advertisers, both ut home and
abroad, to this fact.

It Led to Oscillation.

"Pray read my hand" he said, with smile,
AS they sat in the parlor bright,
''And will read yours: it will serve to while
The moments away tonight"
She took his hand, and its lines she scanned
Then wide she opened her eyes:
'You're in love, see, with girl, said she,
"About my age and size.
you've loved her long, and your love is
strong,
The lines of your hand disclose:
"And you'd ask her to be your wife, but
That you're afraid to propose.
"But you need not fear, for It's writer
here"
The maiden fair went on,
AS the palm she scanned, "to ask her hand
For her heart is already won."
Then the youth proposed, and with cheeks
rosehued,
She answered, "Yes," with smile;
And season of osculation ensued
In regular DownEast style.

An Ideal.

She was not fair but in her face
There was purity Of soul
That gave each feature perfect grace,
Lit up ane beautifed the whole.
Her hand was not the "lily-flower"
Or "drifted snow" that poets sing;
But in its touch, 80 firm and kind.
There was strength most comforting,
And little children clung to II,
And all the poor she clothed and fed
Knew what q cool and soothing touch
1t laid upon tho aching head.
Her laugh was low, and seldom heard;
Her smile, soon woke, most passing sweet
Her sympathies went quickly forth
Another's Joy or woe to meet.
Her creed2 All me | she was not ono
Who thonght her own the only way,
And thanked her God, like him Of old
Who "went up" in his pride to pray.
But, pressing on her upward road,
She strove to win oil hearts for heaven,
And counted no man wholly lost
Who lived, so yet might be forgiven.
She knew heavens gate was opened wide
She knew how great the joy within;
And in her perfect charity,
She would have had all enter IN.

Puget Sound.

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. S--Fortun-
ately our country gets better as one
goes west. BY merciful dispense,
tion Of Providence the. Pacific coast
was reserved as the climax Of doubt
full beginning. Horace Greeley new
or said better thing than "Go West,
young man. The young are best
adapted to the transplanting.
Even the pioneer must be willing
to make many sacrifices OF comfort.
until he gets a foothold, but on the
coast he has less to contend with IN
climate than elsewhere.
The climate hereabouts is very like
that Of Ireland and England. A.
great deal of cloudy weather and
moisture, without extreme heat or
severe cold. The plants and flowers
that flourish in the land Of our faith
ers thrive here with prodigal luxur-
lance. The gorse, the holly, the ivy,
and the broom are in vigorous growth
while it would take q whole letter to
describe the glories oil the roses, the
lilies and the pinks.
The chief industry Of Puget Sound
is logging, and every town has more
than one steam saw mill, on one side
the rafts of huge logs to be fed to
the saw, and on the other side 0
wharf with dozen ships beng load
ed with timber, boards, and laths to
be sent to all parts Of the world. They
also have many thousand tons Of hops
and barley for export, besides the
salmon from their canneries. Think
of buying sixty pound salmon for
three cents
From Tacoma we made an excur-
sion over the, switchback, across the
cascade range, at an elevation OF
5000 feet. 1t is very wonderful
piece OF engineering work. It is
done in seven zigzags with grade
of 900 feet to the mile. 1t requires
two OF the most powerful locomotives,
one pulling the other pushing alter
nately, in the way the name describes.
Everywhere the slopes Of the noun
tains are covered with fir trees of
enormous growth, many of which are
charred by forest fires. These giant
conifers, standing or prostrate, are
surprising in their size to an eastern
man.
Every acre of West Washington
Territory is covered with them, and
all the islands OF the Pacific and the
main coast OF Alaska are still vivid
mass of verdure with them. About
Puget Sound they are now burning
off the brush and refuse, and the
whole air is 80 full Of smoke that the
last days Tacoma hi6 its head, 10 our
great regret aud the disappointment
of the tourists who arrived too late
10 see him. The Puget sound re-
gion is destined to become a great
country. There are many rivers
emptyng into it and the soil on their
banks is exceedingly fertile, with
mild and genial climate all the year

The statement just prepared at the
General Land Office shows that the
quantity of land restored to the pub
lie domain by the action of the In
terror Department under the policy
of President Cleveland is 21,000,0OO
acres. This great territory is suffici-
ent to furnish 100000 settlers with
farms of 100 acres each. This is
genuine land reform, common sense
and honest enforcement of the doc
trine "The peoples land for the peo-
pie"
